Re: What Did You Pass Up Today? Spring '13

I've been passing on this every time I visit Hi Time, though it's very tempting. Don't recall it being a store selection though. I'll probably grab it next time make the trek up there.

Their sticker is on the side of the bottle. I'm curious because I thought this is normally a blend and if that's so, what did they select? And who would sell 15yo bourbon for $30 these days? I should have asked them about it but I was in a hurry.

They also have a Hi Time selected Elijah Craig Small Batch that made me wonder that same thing. If it's not a single barrel then what are they selecting? Different barrel blends?

I not an $80 whiskey buyer either and I bought 3. When you compare proof to some others it helps justify it a bit more. I would buy another if the 131.6's if I came across one.

Passed on the Vintage 23 yr Rye and the Willett Family 25 yr Rye's at their gift shop. I'd love to try them both, but at $230 and $250, I have to pass. Passed on most of the HH gift shop stuff as well, pricey stuff. I think it is a bit crappy they have stacks of the EWBP in the gift shop at $80, when they are releasing them for $40 around the states in a limited offering. I understand a limited mark up to not piss off the local stores, but not double. Oh well, not going to lose any sleep over it, spent my money elsewhere.
